During this period, Liu Cheng had been discussing the reform of the imperial official system with his advisers, staff and officials in the DPRK and China, and was also considering arrangements for Zang Hong.
The reform of the official system cannot be decided in a day or two.
Liu Cheng first decided on Zang Hong's arrangements.
Considering that Han Hao, the prefect of Hanoi, had been in office for too long, he had to be moved.
But how to arrange Han Hao became a problem.
One problem is that after all, the reform of official positions has not yet been finalized.
The official positions in the imperial court are a carrot and a pit, and there are no vacant positions for the time being.
At this time, Feng Jintang, the governor of Yanmen, was seriously ill and wrote a letter asking him to retire and return to his hometown to recuperate.
Liu Cheng considered that Feng Jintang was over sixty years old and had served as the governor of Yanmen County for many years.
He had made great achievements in resisting barbarian invasions and educating the people, so he requested the emperor to grant him the title of earl, fifty acres of land and some Money brocade.
Naturally, the emperor had nothing against this kind of thing.
He didn't need to pay for it anyway, it was just a title.
After allowing Feng Jintang to retire and return to his hometown to recuperate, Liu Chenggong ordered the transfer of Han Hao, the prefect of Hanoi, to Yanmen to take up his post.
The day after the transfer order was issued, Liu Cheng sent someone to find Zang Hong.
"Zang Hong, are you used to living in Chang'an these days?"
Zang Hong smiled and said: "There's nothing I'm not used to.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "As for your arrangements, I have also considered it during this period.
You are a talented person.
I firmly believe in this.
The court has always attached great importance to people who are capable and virtuous."
The principle used is to let you assume greater responsibilities.
Han Hao, the governor of Hanoi, is going to Yanmen to take up the post of governor of Hanoi.
Hanoi is a very prosperous place, but it borders Yuan Shao's territory.
The prefect must not only handle government affairs well, but also know military affairs, train soldiers, and resist Yuan Shao's attacks at any time.
You can send troops to attack Yuan Shao at any time, so I want to send you as the governor of Hanoi.
I wonder what you think."
Zang Hong cupped his fists and said: "When Zang Hong first arrived, the king entrusted him with the position of prefect.
Zang Hong will definitely live up to the king's trust."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, I believe you have done a good job.
This matter has been decided.
Your original troops cannot take them with you.
They must be handed over to Luoyang for reorganization and placement at their discretion.
By the way, you Where are the family members?”
“In the Inn” Liu Chengdao said: "Take your family with you and go to the post.
Leave them in Chang'an.
The court can't spare the manpower and no one will help you take care of them.
It's better for you to take them away by yourself.
It's best for the whole family to be together."
"Your Majesty, Hong" Zang Hong didn't know what to say.
Liu Cheng stood up and walked to Zang Hong, patted him on the shoulder, thrust the official document of appointment into his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I don't like to listen to words of loyalty, so I'll start with actual actions." , if someone is determined to defect and join the enemy, even using family members may not make him have any scruples, so go ahead."
Zang Hong took two steps back and bowed to Liu Cheng with clasped fists and said: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself.
Hong takes his leave."
After Lu Bu fled into Xuzhou with the remaining defeated soldiers, Liu Bei was being attacked from both sides by Yuan Shu and Xu Rong, and was almost unable to withstand it.
Lu Bu's appearance was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Liu Bei, who was confronting Xu Rong in Langya Kingdom at that time, received the news and ordered his generals Che Zhou and Cao Bao to lead the troops to defend the city and not go out to fight.
He quickly rushed back to Xiapi with his own soldiers to receive the envoy sent by Lu Bu.
After a long conversation, Liu Bei expressed his acceptance of Lu Bu and provided him with food and grass, but he had to lead troops to Xuyi to attack Yuan Shu from the flank.
Lu Bu's envoy agreed and went back to tell Lu Bu.
Lu Bu agreed and immediately led the army to set off after receiving the food and grass.
Lu Bu was a man who was good at training and commanding troops.
His officers and men were all tigers and wolves.
After eating and drinking, they were all full of energy. .
Lu Bu's army quickly arrived at Xuyi and launched an attack.
Several cities in a row were captured by Lu Bu.
Yuan Shu was horrified when he received the news.
He was afraid that Lu Bu's attack would be too fast and cut off his retreat.
He immediately abandoned Guan Yu on the opposite side and led his army back to the south of the Huai River.
He also sent general Zhang Xun to garrison Zhongli and Dongcheng.
Xu Rong, who was in Langya, quickly received news of the retreat of Yuan Shu's army, but he did not lead his army to retreat or attack.
He remained as is and accurately grasped Liu Bei's thoughts.
Liu Bei really did not dare to attack Xu Rong at this time.
He was worried that Lu Bujiu would occupy the magpie's nest after the army was dispatched, control the amount of food and grass supplied to Lu Bu's army, and asked Lu Bu's army to prevent Cao's army from reaching Peicheng to resist a possible attack by Cao's army.
Lu Bu's army's food and grass were controlled by Liu Bei, and he had no choice but to follow Liu Bei's wishes for the time being to prevent Xiaopei from garrisoning.
Cao Cao has made no other moves in the near future and is busy cleaning up the house.
Most of the officials in Yanzhou have surrendered to Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao and Lu Bu.
Whether these can still be used is something Cao Cao needs to consider.
After two years of fighting and confrontation with Lu Bu, Yanzhou was completely desolate, and production problems became the biggest problem.
In order to solve the problem of army food and grass, Mao Jie proposed the strategy of using the army to farm.
This move was greatly appreciated and fully supported by Cao Cao.
Sun Ce, who had been silent for two years, secretly accumulated strength and greatly increased his strength.
Under Zhou Yu's planning, he finally couldn't help but send troops to Liu Yao.
In Yangzhou, especially in the areas controlled by Liu Yao, Sun Ce's uncle Wu family was a wealthy family, with disciples and former officials spread all over Yangzhou.
With the cooperation of these people, the area controlled by Liu Yao was full of loopholes, and Sun Ce captured it without any effort.
Covered the entire Kuaiji County.
Liu Yao only had two counties left, Danyang and Wujun.
Liu Yao was furious and immediately led his troops to Wujun to arrest and kill all the hundreds of members of the Wu family.
At this time, Liu Yao and Sun Ce had a life-or-death feud and became a life-or-death situation.
Sun Ce immediately, with the assistance of Zhou Yu, sent Huang Gai to send troops to the west of Danyang in the Yuzhang area.
Liu Yao sent Tai Shici to lead his army to meet him.
However, after Huang Gai led his army to capture Lingyang, he did not make any other moves.
Beware of a defensive posture.
Taishi Ci led his army to Lingyang City and attacked the city.
The attack lasted for more than ten days.
At this time, Sun Ce quietly led his troops into Danyang from Kuaiji and penetrated directly into Danyang City.
When Liu Yao learned that Sun Ce's army had arrived at the city, he thought he was in a dream.
After only three days of attacking the city, someone in the city cooperated with Sun Ce and opened the city gate.
That night, Sun Ce led his army into the city.
Liu Yao, under the desperate protection of his soldiers, fled from the west gate and went to Taishi Ci.
Liu Yao didn't like Taishi Ci at first because he was a general sent by the imperial court rather than promoted by him personally, but now he had to rely on Taishi Ci's guidance.

They galloped all the way to Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci heard that Danyang had been destroyed and saw Liu Yao with his own eyes.
Only then did he know that the matter was true.
He suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.
What if Sun Ce led his army to kill him from behind?
After thinking hard for a long time, Taishi Ci came up with a plan and decided to divide his troops.
He sent his general to lead a group of troops to Nanchang overnight, while he quietly hid with the remaining troops.
Early the next morning, Huang Gai found that Tai Shici had not attacked the city.
He was confused.
He also saw that there was no movement in the enemy camp outside the city.
His suspicion gradually arose.
He then sent people out of the city to check the enemy.
He was told that the enemy camp was empty and the enemy was empty.
There are traces of the army bypassing Lingyang and heading towards Nanchang.
Huang Gai was shocked.
He knew that there were not many soldiers and horses in Nanchang City.
The army had been taken away by Sun Ce.
If Taishi Ci attacked Nanchang City in a surprise attack, the consequences would be disastrous.
He could no longer care about anything else and immediately led a large group of soldiers and horses.
Pursue in the direction of Nanchang.
Taishi Ci was hiding in a large forest with his army.
When he heard the scout report that Huang Gai was galloping towards Nanchang with his troops, he was overjoyed.
He knew that he had guessed correctly.
Since Sun Ce led the army to attack from Kuaiji If he reaches Danyang City, it means that his rear is actually empty.
"Don't be in a hurry.
If we continue to explore, if Huang Gai escapes with the remaining soldiers and defeated generals, come and report immediately," Taishi Ci told the spies.
"Yes, General" the spy agreed, turned around, mounted his horse and galloped away.
Liu Yao asked from the side: "General Ziyi, how do you conclude that Huang Gai will escape with the remaining defeated soldiers?
Did you ambush the troops in front?
I understand.
There was a noise in the camp last night.
This morning I found that there were few soldiers and horses."
A few, you must have sent them out last night."
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said: "The governor is really a very human being."
Liu Yao frowned again: "How did General Ziyi know that Huang Gai would lead people to chase him out of the city?"
Taishi Ci said: "Didn't the governor say that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led a large number of troops from Kuaiji to kill Danyang City directly?
If he didn't bring enough troops, how could he be sure that he could capture Danyang City?
Maybe they had planned a sneak attack.
But the plan can't keep up Changes, the situation may change at any time.
If Liyingwaihehe fails, do they still plan to evacuate Danyang?
But in the hinterland of the county, it is not easy to evacuate safely.
The only way is to bring enough troops to march straight in.
Once Liyingwaihehe's plan fails, If defeated, he immediately launches a strong attack and tries his best to break through Danyang in a short time and seize the governor.
Then Jiangdong will belong to the Sun family.
You said he brought at least five thousand people with him?

Huang Gai has 7,000 troops here, so the entire Yuzhang County garrison only has 8,000 troops, and these troops are scattered.
Chaisang is an important defense town in Jingzhou.
Cheng Pu has at least 5,000 troops in his hands, and other cities Divide some more, and there will be at most a thousand people guarding Nanchang."
Liu Yao heard Tai Shici's analysis, and after thinking about it carefully, he really felt that it made sense.
Less than two hours later, Huang Gai fled back with the remaining defeated soldiers with a embarrassed look on his face.
After Taishi Ci received the report, he immediately led his troops and horses out of the woods to kill Huang Gai's remaining defeated generals.
The two armies collided, and Huang Gai's army was already panic-stricken.
At this time, he was attacked head-on by Tai Shi Ci.
He still had the courage to flee.
Huang Gai fought in a hurry, but Tai Shi Ci killed him by surprise.
He was caught off guard and seriously injured. , hit the horse warehouse and fled to the south.
Taishi Ci immediately rushed to Lingyang City with his troops.
There were only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city.
Who dared to defend the city?
He obediently opened the city gate and surrendered:
